In recent years, with the health concept becoming more and more popular, key words such as calorie, low sugar and weight loss frequently appear in people’s daily life. Based on the high concern for their own health, people now have higher requirements for their lifestyle, nutritional intake and diet structure. For example, eating is no longer just satisfied with eating well, but also eating healthily; For another example, the demand for weight management continues to rise, and fitness "moving" has become a hobby of more people. In order to keep fit, I have been losing weight with great enthusiasm, and even been ridiculed by many people as a lifelong career.
To a certain extent, under the superposition effect of health needs and body anxiety, the weight loss market can be described as "business opportunities". Billion-level meal replacement track attracts players to rush in, and online celebrity brands and slimming apps are quickly sought after by young people, which shows the fiery degree of the slimming market. "Losing weight" not only brought fire to the fitness market, but also heated up the slimming products. Many diet foods and medicines have gained a bigger market. At the same time, there are many problems in the diet food market, such as false propaganda and illegal addition of prohibited ingredients, which bring huge consumption hidden dangers and cannot be ignored.
In real life, some unscrupulous merchants, eyeing the so-called "business opportunities", deceive and mislead consumers by exaggerating the efficacy of diet foods and other means, so that the "three noes" products under the banner of weight loss lurk in social platforms and sell weight loss products with illegal banned ingredients, completely ignoring the health and safety of consumers. "Eating a piece of bread loses 3 kg to 5 kg" and "100% no side effects" … … Some consumers are tricked into the "trap" by false propaganda. After purchasing and using the products, they not only failed to lose weight, but suffered physical and mental health. Some people will go back and experience the "face change" of sales merchants before buying and after buying — — When you buy, you bite a "sister" and "kiss" and immediately become a stranger after transferring money. In this way, not only did you deflate your purse, but you also "ate" your body and hurt your feelings. How regretful!
Health is no small matter. If all kinds of chaos in the diet food market cannot be effectively contained, it will certainly damage the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and disrupt the market order, which is not conducive to the healthy development of the industry. To solve this problem, it depends on the relevant departments such as health and market supervision to optimize the idea of "management", enhance the effectiveness of "management", increase the intensity of "punishment", establish and improve the joint law enforcement mechanism, and jointly build a stronger barrier for consumers’ health and safety. Consumers should also be vigilant, spend carefully, enhance health knowledge and legal awareness, do not blindly believe in false propaganda, do not excessively pursue "specific drugs" to lose weight, and do not rely too much on diet foods to lose weight. Under the strict supervision and smart consumption of consumers, only by not leaving illegal profit space for illegal businesses can those harmful diet foods no longer harm people. (Zhang Dongmei)
